The Spill - 04.21.25
With Author Stephania Thompson
One week to Tangled!
We are just days from the Tangled launch, and no, I’m not feeling like Katy Perry…unless she’s tired, over caffeinated, and looking for Bezos to offer her a second rocket ride.
Spring break happened. We traveled. We survived. And yes, I took a short social media break. But I’m back, rested, and ready.
Let’s get into it…
Plot Twist: Woven Made It to Browseabout
If you’ve strolled the sandy streets of Rehoboth Beach, you know Browseabout Books is something of a rite of passage for readers and writers alike. If you've been to the Maryland or Delaware beaches, chances are you've picked up a beach read, or twenty, at their iconic store.
Fun fact: my family spends a lot of time in Ocean City, and ever since Woven hit the shelves, I’ve dreamed of seeing it literally on a shelf at Browseabout.
This week? That dream became reality.
Woven is officially in stock and in store, and Tangled will hopefully be there this summer!
If you're in the area, swing by. You might just find a signed copy. Take a pic, tag me, and make my day. Seriously, nothing makes me happier than seeing my book babies out in the wild.
Big thanks to Browseabout for being so supportive of local authors. And look out for a possible summer signing event as well!
Save the Date!

Join me for a very special Tangled launch event where it all began! I can’t wait to celebrate with you!
Let’s Get Personal
Reality: Most people don’t read newsletters.
In fact, if you are still reading, you’re probably in the top 5%. A true MVP…thank you! Honestly, I don’t read most of the newsletters I subscribe to either. They’re long, repetitive, and let’s face it… kinda meh (mine included, I know…I’m working on it!).
So here’s the idea: What if I turn this newsletter into a quick video instead?
Think 60 seconds or less. A brief reel-style update with links in the comments. Would you watch it? Would you prefer that over reading 4-5 minutes of text?
Also, while I’ve got you, do you want more behind-the-scenes book stuff or more personal, off-the-cuff life updates? A little of both? Drop a comment and let me know. This space is for you, after all. I’m just here trying to make it worth your time.
